Why Did Ayo Edebiri Call Andrew Garfield and Julia Roberts ”toxic”, Following ‘After the Hunt’ Shoots?
Navigating Hollywood is a steep enough climb, but doing it as a young actor with the audience firmly in your pocket? That is a different beast entirely. Such is the plight, or perhaps the privilege, of Ayo Edebiri, whose performance in The Bear has cemented her as the darling of both the screen and the audiences.
It seems, however, that being an audience favorite might not always earn you the favor of your co-stars, even if said co-stars are Andrew Garfield, Hollywood’s resident nice guy, and Julia Roberts, who is well just a girl as per the rumors on London's streets.

Having established her presence in the industry, Ayo Edebiri is well on the way to turn the tides with projects that might as well have a box office success guarantee card. One in her rooster is a film featuring Andrew Garfield and Julia Roberts titled After the Hunt. However, in an interview with Film Updates, when asked about her experience working with the two, Edebiri went on to say that the two were "Really, really toxic. Nasty people." But true to her comic timing, a chuckle was followed just as the audiences were about to pick forks.
After masterfully sucking the air out of the room, Edebiri very swiftly brought back the laughter as she went on to relay her true experience of working alongside the Hollywood heavyweights. And contrary to the "toxic" and "nasty", the real experience was described along the lines of being her "greatest" and most "fortunate" one.
After The Hunt, may have been the greatest experience so far for Ayo Edebiri as an actor, but it is likely to also earn identical reviews from the audience.
